As you walk down by the Lake
Just as the Sun begins to brake
The Clouds now moving across the Sky
Drifting slowly as they pass by
The old Jetty, quiet and serene
Stands majestically, ever still, as it has always been
As you walk along its path to the Gazebo at the end
All light up, a forever friend
Walking slowly to the gateway, you enter in
And see the water, so blue so thin

Vision flows through the pink sky
Oh no, Oh why
As thick as yours, as dark as mine
I ain't stressing.
Keep the thing on rewind
Oh no, Okay
But don't let it become a ritual
Cause if it is,

We humans have the power to sustain anything.
Whether it is an expensive watch or a diamond ring.
But, when it comes to communication lack,
We so keen, try every possible hack.
Internet has made us its slave,
Life without it seems in a lonely cave.
People always wanting to chat,
Don't even know the life under a villager's hat.

One thought crossed my mind out of blue,
What if someday my imagination came true?
The beautiful world I've created in my mind,
The old school love, beautiful and kind.
Not the emojis of love but the love letters written by heart,
Connecting the hearts who live apart.
The handmade gifts, thoughtful and sweet,
Given to eachother when they meet.

I've never seen a swan but they
Told me that swans are majesty,
And to beware of geese and ducks
Are meant to be seen but not touched.
So, I grew thinking waterfowls
Had modes of meaning all their own,
And in these modes, I added some,
Like every child aspires to do, when
Imagination takes a run and

Hi, my name is Tom Morgan
A cowboy of note
With my old battered hat
And my weather-beaten long coat
I have ridden the range
For almost fifty years
A life full of laughter
Along with some tears
With two trusty colt forty-fives
That hangs down by my side

You could have grown up to master the scalpel
You could have grown up to be adept at the blackboard
You could have grown up to be an educator of minds
You could have grown up to be a skilled financier
You could have grown up to be a talented technocrat
You could have grown up to be a nimble-fingered musician
You could have known love, affection, care
You could have grown up to be great

I imagine what I look like when I speak to people
I imagine I’m a fool because of my past actions
I imagine I’m a great poet when I write something with shock value
I imagine using force on bad people
I imagine that I’m always right when I’m in an argument
I imagine all the bad things that most likely wont happen
I imagine that I’m gross when it’s hot outside, I’m sweating and I think the cigarettes are coming through my pores
I imagine a life without love because nothing is happening for me right now
I imagine that god hates me and wants me to suffer till my dying day
I imagine that almost all people want to see me fail, that they have congregated to see me fail

Down the driveway and along the sidewalk
Fallen leaves whisper underfoot of a teetering post-toddler
Through the front yard and over the fence
Laughter of the leaves grows louder under velcroed shoes
Up a tree and over the great stone wall
Crunches and snaps and crackles in twigs under bunny eared sneakers
A long trail long silent
A railway lingering in disuse
The new conductor’s symphony of nature has covered over the tracks of the predecessor
The Railroad never known in its operation to a child who has only lived so long
